Reincarnated as the Immortal Lord's Penguin Chick

Sui Sui transmigrated as a dull gray spirit beast egg. Every day, he was set out on a street stall, and though people came and went, no one showed any interest.

Seeing that he was about to be cooked, Sui Sui rolled away with all his might and pressed himself against the hem of a pure-white robe. "Buy me! I'll be really useful once I hatch!"

The immortal lord passing by paused in surprise and took the egg home. He even bought an ancient book called A Guide to Raising Young from the black market and followed its instructions to raise it:

Step one: return to your true form and hatch the little one.

Every day, Sui Sui snuggled beneath the warm, fluffy belly, absorbing the spiritual energy the other one channeled to him and listening to him read bedtime stories in his cool, pleasant voice.

He thought the best dad in the world must be a peerless beauty, extraordinary and unmatched, like an immortal from the clouds.

Then, after he hatched, he strained to look up and saw an adult emperor penguin with an otherworldly air.

"Daddy!" Sui Sui's eyes went round.

"I'm here." The emperor penguin immortal lord lowered his head and rubbed the top of the little one's head.

Immortal Lord Mo Li lived atop a snowy peak, surrounded by black ice that had never melted, bitter frost, and utter lifelessness. Then one day, while passing through the market, he found an egg belonging to his own kind and brought it home.

The little one that hatched was a soft, fluffy bundle. He clung to Mo Li's robe and looked up at him. "Daddy, I have a home now!"

Immortal Lord Mo Li lowered his head and gently gathered the little one's fluffy head beneath the tip of his wing. "Mm. You have a home now."
